Test fails with java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.
Hi
I have a problem with a NullPointer in my JSFUnit test. I am trying to test field input, assert the current view then assert some value within the FacesMessages.
Here's the test:
package uk.co.slc.cst.jsfunit;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import org.jboss.jsfunit.facade.JSFClientSession;
import org.jboss.jsfunit.facade.JSFServerSession;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.apache.cactus.ServletTestCase;
import junit.framework.Test;
import junit.framework.TestSuite;
public class ViewBankDetailsIntegrationTest extends ServletTestCase {
public static Test suite() {
return new TestSuite(ViewBankDetailsIntegrationTest.class);
}
private JSFClientSession client;
private static String viewId = "/ViewBankDetails.jsp";
private static String pageId = "/ViewBankDetails.faces";
private FacesMessage msg;
private static String errorMsg = "Value is longer than allowable maximum of 8 characters";
public void setUp() throws IOException, SAXException {
this.client = new JSFClientSession(pageId);
}
public void testViewBankDetailsPage() throws IOException, SAXException {
// A JSFServerSession gives you access to JSF state
JSFServerSession server = new JSFServerSession(client);
// Test navigation to initial viewID
assertEquals(viewId, server.getCurrentViewID());
// Assert that the components are in the component tree and rendered
UIComponent component = server.findComponent("customerid");
assertTrue(component.isRendered());
component = server.findComponent("submitButton");
assertTrue(component.isRendered());
}
public void testInvalidCustomerid() throws IOException, SAXException {
this.client.setParameter("customerid", "111111111");
this.client.submit("submitButton");
JSFServerSession server = new JSFServerSession(client);
// test view viewBankDetails displayed
assertEquals(viewId, server.getCurrentViewID());
// test error message exists in message collection
assertTrue(getMessage(server).getDetail().contains("customerid"));
assertTrue(getMessage(server).getDetail().contains(errorMsg));
}
/**
* @return FacesMessage - the next message
*/
private FacesMessage getMessage(JSFServerSession server) {
FacesMessage msg = (FacesMessage) server.getFacesContext().getMessages().next();
return msg;
}
}
Here is the jsp
<%@ page session="true" contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>

<title>View Bank Details</title>
</head>
<body>
<f:view>
<h:form id="form1">
<h:outputLabel value="Please enter your "/>
<h:outputLabel value="#{msg.customerId}"/>
<!-- the input field with validation -->
<h:inputText value="#{viewBankDetails.customerId}" id="customerid" required="true">
<f:validateLength minimum="1" maximum="8"/>
<h:message for="customerid"/>
</h:inputText>
<h:commandButton value="Submit" id="submitButton" action="#{viewBankDetails.doSearch}"/>
</h:form>
</f:view>
</body>
</html>
I see other examples (by Stan) that use a ServerFacade..... should I be using that?
I also tried changing the way the field is referenced in the test from customerid to form1:customerid. this didn't work either.... the client is still null.
Sorry to be asking so many questions!
Any help much appreciated
